I would like to think that I am always considerate but the truth is that while it is one of my priorities, I definetely fall short. I learned a verse many years ago: Psalms 141:3 “Set a watch, O’Lord, before my mouth, keep the door of my lips.”
Now when I learned that verse, I really didn’t [...]

Continued from previous blog: I have come to the conclusion that sometimes I am just a honest to goodness coward.
I hate conflict and would go to any extreme to avoid it. Because, I am seeking to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh I know God wants me to try to restore my [...]

I know why we aren’t speaking …..but I have no desire to fix it. I’m not going to be the one to apologize because I’m not wrong! She plucks my every nerve. I don’t have the energy to deal with her personality and her critical attitude. She’s right about the situation but I can’t change the circumstances.
What does that [...]

FEEL YUCKY ALL OVER AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRONG?
If you or someone you know has fibromyalgia then you can understand the frustration that comes from getting medical help and getting a diagnosis that doesn’t go along with “your imagining” these symptoms and be labeled “crazy.”
The symptoms do vary from moment to moment and [...]

My daughter in law’s schedule changed today so she brought our grandson over this morning at 6:30 a.m. I just knew he would be tired and want to go back to bed. I had my swim suit on as I was going to our spa and do my stretches and exercises. Well, he arrived wide awake. [...]

When I think back on my childhood, it truly can be said that my siblings and myself ”lived and experienced life together.” We certainly knew how to keep our mouths shut and didn’t tattletale to our parents.
Because my Mom died when we were so young, we really raised ourselves. We learned to blackmail each other. My dad would ask [...]

While working in the Children’s Ministry, we were taking auditions for a play we would be doing at the Christmas Holiday. We were a very small size church of approx, 60-75 regular members. Three girls always stood out of place. Their grandmother brought them to church. They were not particularly pretty nor did they have [...]

This honeysuckle grows so rampant in our the area where we live. However, in Colorado where I grew up the honeysuckle in our area looked so differently. My sister who has been living in Virginia 45 years did not know that this is honeysuckle until my grandson brought her some.
Now, my grandson’s dad was born [...]

In The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren, on day 16 discusses “What Matters Most.” I am going to journal the three highlights of this chapter. #1 Life without love is really worthless #2 Love will last forever #3 God will evaluate us on our love
I believe these are three important statements, however, I would like to discuss [...]
